If you’re in a public space like a market or a café, turn around in a full circle. We can say with absolute certainty that everyone above 17 owns a smartphone and uses WhatsApp daily. How cool is that? Isn’t it so wild to think that out of all the things humans could have in common, WhatsApp is one of them? Nearly two billion people on this planet use WhatsApp: that’s one-fourth of the entire world population!
If you still haven’t signed up on WhatsApp, then this is your sign to do so. Create groups with your best friends, upload stories about your day, and conduct conference video calls for the most efficient online conversations!
In today’s blog, we’ll discuss whether or not the other person finds out when you call them and hang up immediately. To learn all about it, stick with us until the end!
If You Call Someone and Hang Up on WhatsApp, Will They Know?
Calling someone on WhatsApp is useful when you can’t seem to be able to contact them directly through a call or when you’ve run out of talk time. However, it was common at the beginning for people to call their contacts accidentally since the call icon was close to the drop-down menu.
It’s common to wonder whether or not the other person will find out if you call them and then hang up immediately. The answer is yes; they will. Even if it rings for only a second, they will get a notification and a chat saying, “Missed voice call at [time].”
If you hang up within one second of calling them, when the call status is Calling rather than Ringing, there’s a slight chance you might still be able to get out of it. However, this is just an educated guess and isn’t guaranteed to work.
Moreover, what’s the point of calling them if they can’t see it, don’t you think? If you’ve accidentally called them without intending to do so, you can always tell them that it was an accident. Don’t worry; it happened to all of us at least once to all of us.
How to turn off read receipts on WhatsApp
Step 1: Launch WhatsApp on your smartphone.
Step 2: The first screen that you’ll see is your Chats. You’ll see the three dots icon at the top right corner. Tap on it.
Step 3: A drop-down menu will appear. Tap on the last option on that menu called Settings. On the Settings page, tap on the first option called Account.
Step 4: Again, tap on the first item on the Account page called Privacy.
Step 5: Scroll down on the Privacy page to locate the Read receipts option with a toggle button next to it. By default, it is turned on. Turn it off, and you’re good to go.
In the end
WhatsApp is a large social platform and runs on high efficiency. So, even if you only call someone for one second, there’s a good chance they’ll find out about it through the notifications. However, you shouldn’t stress too much over it because it happens to all of us. Explain the situation to them, and we’re sure they’ll understand.
Secondly, if you don’t want everyone to find out whether you’ve seen their message, we’ve got you there, too! All you need is to go to Settings and turn off your read receipts. Keep in mind that it works both ways, so you won’t be able to see if they’ve seen your message.
